  • Helping you clearly identify what is holding you back from success
  • Teaching you how to organize your schedule to create new pockets of time

Then you can take this process and go throughout all the rooms in your home–including the bathrooms, kitchen, craft room, home office, basement, entryway, playroom, garage, attic, and all other rooms in your home–cleaning and organizing.
  • Clean out and organize not just the rooms themselves, but organization spaces such as closets, shelves, drawers, and bookshelves.
  • Learn how to properly use organization equipment, such as bins, drawer organizers, storage bins, food storage containers, lids, and baskets.

The Private Balanced Home Community

(BONUS – Priceless). Provides a community that you can go to whenever you need a place where you…

  • Seek inspiration and ideas from others
  • Receive support and motivation from others
  • Share your successes and see the successes of others as we all work towards finding balance and clarity in our homes.

What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?

“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”

“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”

“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”

When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!””

HOW TO GET MOTIVATED TO ORGANIZE YOUR HOME

HOW TO OVERCOME FEARS AND MENTAL BARRIERS

I asked and these are the things that are holding you back from getting started! I made sure my course helped you overcome your specific fears and developed processes to address each of the concerns below. Have you ever had any of the same concerns?

  • “I don't have the time.”
  • “I don't know how to break it down into manageable chunks.”
  • “How do I balance other activities?”
  • “I don’t have enough energy / motivation.”
  • “I'm overwhelmed and don't know where to start.”
  • “I'm scared / unable to commit.”
  • “I don't trust myself.”
  • “I don't have the confidence I will finish.” 
  • “How do I maintain / keep on top of it?”
  • “I have a hard time with inconsistency / finding balance.”
  • “I'm afraid of quitting too soon and having it be a mess.”
  • “How do I build the habits and routines?”
  • “Keeping it clean and organized”“Staying focused and not getting distracted.”
  • “What if I have physical limitations.”
  • “I don't have the supplies / resources / money (i.e. containers etc.) / storage space.”
  • “I don't want to part with things.”
  • “What Do I do with all the stuff? Donate? Kids?”
  • “What if I need it later?”
  • “My family has stuff they want to keep.”
  • “Family is not being helpful or even counterproductive… How do I get my family on board?”
  • “No sense of design / vision for what I want.”
  • “Lack of knowledge.”
  • “Afraid of not doing it right.”
  • “Being okay with not having it perfect.”

STILL NOT READY TO BUY?

Because I know that sometimes it can be difficult to take that initial leap of faith, I wanted to give you something that would allow you to get your feet wet a little, something that you could access RIGHT NOW.  I think you'll like it.  I've opened up a “sneak peek” section of my course, where you can access one or two of the lessons that are a part of The Balanced Home Course.  If you click the button below you will be able to create your own personal account / log in for the course and access the “sneak peek” videos.

    I love the last sign in this post that says, share, say please and thank you, etc. All things I am trying to teach my son. :)

    Reply

  7. RobinM says

    I think a sign that says something like, ‘Love and Respect yourself cause you matter’. In today’s society people are so busy trying to impress others that they forget to impress themselves and to be proud of who they are.

    I love Philippians 4: 6-7. “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you lilve in Jesus Christ”.

    That might be a little long for a sign, but it can be cut off at the beginning for a sign!

    I would love to see a sign with the words from the song “This Little Light of Mine, I’m Gonna Let it Shine”. I sang this throughtout my pregnancy to my little guy and then whenever he got upset. It certainly has special meaning to me and I would love to see it everyday to remind myself to let our lives shine.

  72. Rebecca Green says

    Some of my favorite quotes:

    “If a child is born and raised in a home that is loving and nurturing, where there is complete truth about who we are, you can’t give a child any greater place from which to fly.”

    “He who can reach a child’s heart can reach the worlds heart.” Rudyard Kipling

    “Born not from our flesh, but born in our hearts, you were longed for and wanted and loved from the start”
    Author: unknown

    I’m only one. But still, I am one.
    I cannot do everything, but still, I can do something.
    And because I cannot do everything,
    I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
    – Edward Everett Hale

    He has me mistaken for a linebacker.”

    I LOVE the humorous truth of “Wash your hands and say your prayers….” It makes for a much better mantra than the “Wash and flush” I’ve been touting lately to my 5 young children. Whether I win the sign, from now on it will be “Wash and pray” that I hope to engrain in their minds.

    I have a poster that lists all these things that moms say to their children such as: stand up straight, don’t bother your sister, keep your hands to yourself, brush your teeth, etc. I think phrases like this would fit in well with the other Word Whipped pieces.

(Does choosing my 2013 word in July 2012 tell you how desperate I am for some JOY in my life?) [;)]
